PERTH HORSE SALES
Peter has some horses that are in their final preparation for the Sales,  Peter said it will be interesting to see what prices will got for,  he was surprised that the Eastern States prices were so high, its not the same over here of course, but will be interesting.


WINE TASTING UNDERWAY
Peter was at least excited this weekend when the slab was poured for the beginning of the erection of the Wine Tasting Building.


WELL FOLKS THAT IS THE WEEKS REPORT, EVEN PETER HAD A QUIET BORING WEEKEND, BUT HE DOESN'T MIND THE LAPSE BEFORE IT ALL BEGINS AGAIN IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR HIM, SO ENJOY WHILE YOU CAN PETE!!!
